Dancing on the steps of time
remembering when you were once mine
Water color visions of a life
         that we once had...
     Together at the edge of heaven
                   we soared like winged birds.  
Circular light surrounded us
              round and round we went,  
swimming like two swans
lost in a vortex of water and air ...
A subtle touch and breath
one fingered caress and suddenly,    
                     we began more  then less  !
Then one day you went away
               and I was left alone drawing circles in the sand.  
I tried to touch the stars of yesterday
                but as I waited by the sea,  you never returned.
Blinking away the tears I turned to leave  
but then I heard you say, "stay "  
So I sat by the ocean and watched the sun go down
for I did not have the courage to walk away,
nor did I have the strength to whisper
to your shadow,    
                 "FAREWELL"   my love "FAREWELL"

I looked in the mirror today,
i don't do it often unless I'm putting on makeup,
But i actually looked,
My room was dim and the time hit 4am,
I had the bright idea of looking,
I wish i didnt,
My face wasn't my own,
You could see the pain,
The eye bags weighing heavy all the tears left uncried,
I wasn't myself  anymore,
I was barely a corporeal form of myself,
The shadow of you haunting behind me,
Its the only time i see you now,
In the darkness of my room,
With no where to hide
